A group of AMR Corp. bondholders with about $885 million in debt has told pilots that its support for a stand-alone American Airlines after bankruptcy would be conditioned on the appointment of a new board.

The debt owners detailed that stance in a letter to Allied Pilots Association President Keith Wilson that was posted on a portion of the union website yesterday. According to a September court filing, the group included JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Pentwater Capital Management LP.
